                Fourth party here: definitions are descriptive not prescriptive and vary by common usage. Due to current common usage, literally means both literally and figuratively, with the original definition slowly losing ground. So no one is correct.

                  True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as “Literally”, how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn’t booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can’t immediately think of another word to fill the niche.

          No said suffering want good. Lots of people like things that cause mild to moderate discomfort, but watching someone do something they dislike for an invalid reason seems to be the context. Lots of people like raw onion, but the consensus seems to be that few people would enjoy sitting there and simply eating an entire raw onion.

      Raw red onion is amazing in sandwiches, and I’ve eaten chopped white onion on hot dogs, and that’s pretty good, too. Just straight-uo eating an onion by itself? No.

        Btw the skin has the most testo boost

        This is misinformation.

        Everyone knows that you get the biggest boost to testosterone by leaving the onions until they start to degrade; yes, this is the point when the chemicals that make you cry are strongest, but if you can hold back the tears then you get +50 testosterone.

          This is disinformation. Everyone knows that you get the highest boost +100 of testosterone if you insert the raw onions in your ass daily. It’s equivalent to squatting 300 lbs.

        I legit used to work with a lady who would do that. Her dad trolled her with an onion he told her was a weird apple as a kid. She loved it and just kept eating them. She was an interesting individual. In the best way.

        I heard there was a study that said you have to rub hot chilli’s on the outside of the skin first to make it convert the T into something the body can uptake.

        Oh yeah and if you rub it in the arm pits you get to make both your skin and the onion testo boost stronger

      And why wouldn’t you. I tend to not bite into the whole thing but suffer from occasional urges to do so.

      Still remember that maybe 10 years ago on our way to Romania two grandpa’s in a restaurant in Hajdúnánás ordered some huge chives to dip in salt with their beers.

      I ordered the same 10 minutes after and both gave me a drinking salute. Still eat it in summer, amazing healthy snack.

    The modern internet in a single image.

    I’m a bit skeptical of Twitter Verified posters though. Makes me think jeeba made that up for Twitter engagement… I guess that’s fitting, too.

    Why would someone care about their testosterone levels? If it’s causing a problem shouldn’t you are a doctor. If it’s not then there is no problem in the first place.

      Because an entire generation of online grigters convinced people that “big testo good, small testo bad”. The same people who think baldness is a sign of low testoteron or that thin men have low t.

      Can’t say for much, but I do know testosterone is a drug (aka steroids) people willingly take to pursue a super muscular body type. Wouldn’t be surprised if people tried alternatives to get the same effect, especially since onions are technically “natty” (natural)

      There’s probably also some folklore on test outside of bodybuilding, wouldn’t be surprised if toxic influencers promoted it

      Deliberately posting misinformation and misleading people doesn’t make them dumb. It just makes the world a worse, more confusing place.

          How deep do you go? Believing a post on 4chan? Dumb. Believing a comment on reddit? Dumb. Believing an article on a reputable news site? Dumb. Believing a study funded entities that may encourage a bias? Dumb. Believing a study from scientists that would rather cause sensation than do good science? Dumb. Guess the only solution is to put on that lab coat, get a doctorate and do the experiment yourself, huh? Or maybe put the blame on people spreading misinformation instead of the victims it hurts. There isn’t enough time in the fucking day to validate everything you come across, and if you’re not doing the experiments yourself you’re trusting someone.

              you’re telling me you can’t take something at face value until you’ve collected enough secondary information to validate or verify it?

              That’s what you’re saying. Do you know what you’re saying?

              deliberately believing everything you read online without questioning the validity, makes the world a worse more confusing place.

    So like, did he compose entire fake studies for a laugh or are there real scientific studies out there about the effects of raw onion on testosterone
